Laser Cutting

Hypertherm Associates and BLM GROUP have entered into a strategic partnership agreement aimed at expanding the market reach of their respective solutions.

Arndt Hauger, innovation manager at Vollmer, introduces the VLaser 370 — a high-precision machine crafted for PCD tool production with a focus on the automotive and aerospace sectors. The VLaser utilizes a unique kinematic design that enables fast and efficient laser machining of complex profiles.

The nLIGHT Inc. company has announced the global launch of two new products: nfinity and ProcessGUARD, designed to meet advanced metal fabrication demands.

Complete with API's iScan3D, iScanMagic and iScanLite represent the most complete scanning portfolio available today. They continue API's mission to offer state-of-the-art scanning solutions for every application need and budget. The entire iScan series is available for demonstration and purchase immediately.

A lift magnet for a plasma cutting table has exceeded expectations.

The ultrashort pulse laser marks in the deepest, matt and non-reflective black without generating significant heat input on the workpiece. Even through further processing steps, such as passivation, the marking remains reliably legible and corrosion resistant.

A Formula One contractor accelerates quality control.

When needing to capture complete measurement data, noncontact 3D laser scanning is available.

Laser machining has distinct advantages and disadvantages

The 150 watt laser expands the available CO2 laser source options for the ULTRA X6000 from 10 to 75 watts to 10 to 150 watts. A maximum of 300 watts of 10.6 µm CO2 laser power can be achieved when the ULTRA X6000 is configured with two 150 watt 10.6 µm CO2 lasers.

This machine is built on the success of the Rollomatic LaserSmart® series of machines and particularly addresses the profile cutting and ablation of diamond tooling in the larger diameter range as well as tools with a Monoblock adaptor. The ideal and typical application fields for this machine are the woodworking, automotive and aerospace industries.

A significant increase in marking speed and marking quality on previously insufficiently markable materials are the main benefits of FOBA's green laser. Affected materials include special plastics like UHMWPE, HDPE or PMMA for which additives might no longer be necessary, as well as glass or shiny substrates.
